About the TSP

Traditional (before tax) or loss (after tax) contribution: conventional contributions come from pre-tax salaries and investment returns are deferred. Ross's contributions are from your after-tax salary and are exempt from tax when you withdraw. Reimbursement of Ross donation can be tax exempted at the time of cancellation as long as certain IRS regulations are satisfied.

Automatic donation of agent / service: If subject to FERS or BRS, we will automatically receive 1% of basic pay for each payment period from the agency or service. Whether you donate to your TSP through your own salary, you can receive these donations.

Agency / Service Matching Donation If you become subject to FERS or BRS and pay 5% of base salary to TSP during each payment period, the agency or service will pay an additional 4% of base salary to the TSP account.

Catch up donation: If you are over 50 years old, you can provide more than the amount of any deferred amount

Multiple Fund Investment Options: You can choose from various investment funds, or you can choose a professional designed lifecycle fund.

Under the "401K" program, TSP provides savings and tax incentives that are the same savings and tax incentives that many private companies provide to employees.
